We often hold ourselves back and delay our progress because we are afraid to ask for a little assistance. We can get in our own way by thinking that we can figure something out on our own and while it may seem like a quality, to be determined and self reliant, it can also prevent us from moving forward. Remember that even in asking for help we are having an action which allows us to keep the momentum rolling.
The very fundamentals basis of being human is our ability to demonstrate empathy and compassion for one another. Our humanity is our commonality. When we are able to see others through this lens we give ourselves the opportunity to demonstrate our most valuable strengths. When we give others the space to be who they are and feel comfortable in their own skin regardless of religion, culture, gender, or any other aspect, we allow the expression of the fullness of life. When we embrace our humanness we set ourselves free.

It is easy to become inundated with a back log of information that we encounter from day to day. In caring for ourselves it is vital that we put things in perspective and realize that what we are dealing with in the here and now is only a moment in time. By doing this we prevent ourselves from becoming overwhelmed. Sometimes a shift in focus to the very moment at hand can cultivate the clarity we need. Our ability to build on one moment to the next is where our true power lies. How we perceive the moment and how much space we give that moment is key. Sometimes it's a happy moment that we have been waiting for in anticipation or maybe it's a moment that feels like defeat but ultimately you get to determine this moment's worth.

Our minds are mired in the incessant thinking that prevents us from trusting in our own intuition because we place so much value on the opinions of others and sometimes manipulations that exist behind their expectations. It's important to take a moment to evaluate where these messages come from and do they have true relevance in our life.

When we demonstrate this behavior we are showing empathy and having consideration for those around us and by doing so we create space for the changes that must occur to initiate and sustain a healthy environment with those around us.
In current times we often find it difficult to keep our energy elevated. We must remember our power to influence the atmosphere around us by setting the tone.

With our advancements in technology we are able to achieve many things. AI is a perfect example of this. People are using these assets to write books and create works of art and many other things. We have dating apps and avatars and emojis to communicate all sorts of thoughts and emotions. Through all the changes that we see happening in our world, how do keep our true identity and stay authentic? One drawback that we often see is that technology can sometimes provide a degree of anonymity that seems give people a space to criticize or demonstrate negative behaviors towards one another. It is important to be mindful of our connectedness and to find ways to use these tools to project our genuine authenticity through the accelerated advancements of our time.
We are inundated daily with so many messages, through media and even our relationships with others. Often we do not take the time to filter out what messages truly resonate with us. Many times we are absorbing these messages and applying them to our lives as if we didn't have a choice. It is important to ask ourselves the questions that will hep us clarify why we do the things we do. Why are they are important to us and why we continue going through the motions even when it doesn't align with how we really feel?. Are these our ideas or am I simply maintaining the status quo because of what is expected of me?
Too often we find that we are too afraid to pursue our passions because we are fearful of receiving criticism. These criticisms can even come from the people we know and care about. We must learn that we are the creators of our lives. For us to fulfill our purpose we have to be aware of the naysayers and not let the ideas of other prevent us from our desire to go after our dreams.
When the weather starts to change and the days shorten in length we sometimes feel our mood drop. For some even the upcoming holidays can contribute to slipping into a funk. During those moments it's important to remember that we can use this time to shift our focus to the planning and creativity that can propel us forward. This is a perfect opportunity to take inventory of our personal thoughts about our priorities and goals. By writing out a plan of action to chart our course we can feel empowered. We can accomplish this by setting specific goals and intentions for the upcoming months and devising a plan of execution.
In our busy lives sometime chaos ensues and we can find ourselves swept up in it. To be sure that we stay our course we must learn to recognize when we are being distracted from our purpose and our goals. Reminding ourselves to be the change that we want to see in the world by not placing our energy on the chaos around us but to focus it on what we wish to emulate to the world.
